also, it's fun to know that bernie likes to take baths. (as bernie) "rubber ducky. you're the one-- percent! you make bath time lots of fun-- percent!" bernie was also very specific about temperature. he required that his room be kept at 60 degrees. oh my god. that is so cold. explains why his pajamas look like this. in fact, bernie was so adamant about room temp that he would go out of his way to keep it at 60, even if it meant opening a window in winter or manually overriding the hotel's climate control system. that must have been quite the phone call to the front desk. (as bernie) "i believe in climate change. in that, we have to change the climate of this room, or else i swear to god i will sleep in the ice machine. i need to wake up feeling like a flounder in a fish market!" click! but bernie always wanted to maintain his everyman stance, so he was also known for turning down room upgrades and occasionally swapping with aides. so generous. (as bernie) "thank you for your hard work. as a treat, i'd like to offer you this freezing cold room. and get this: the bed

bernie sanders and aoc, and be a metaphorical here, no respect to senator sanders or house member aocg policy swings to the left, is not t the deal, tht is it. >> i think we have to look back to the primary campaign and remember that bernie sanders basically held up joe biden saying if you embrace by policies, my people will vote for you, that is basically what happened, if you look at the minimum wage to $15, the green new deal, expanding the welfare state, taxing the wealthy, free college, i went back and looked at bernie sanders platform, it is basically exactly the stuff that joe biden is doing, the reason is the young voters were very much in the bernie sanders camp and trump hispanic voters, democrats feel they need those voters in 2022 and they will not show up unless bernie sanders and aoc tells them to. that is a fact and that's what's driving this administration. it is very, very damaging to the country. larry: the left-wing viruses catching, janet yellen has caused the left-wing virus, and many ways is going toor be worse than covid in r the long run and other people that s

we're back here with senator bernie sanders.amala harris casting the deciding vote on things that come to a tie. what's it like when you have a 50-50 split? every senator's vote is so important. and on the democratic caucus, you've got the range from bernie sanders to joe manchin. what's it like to balance all those voices? >> it is not easy. and i don't envy chuck schumer his job because he has to do the balancing, and he doesa good job at it. but at the end of the day, stephen, i think all of the 50 members of the democratic caucus understand that we cannot fail, that the problems facing this country are so severe, that we are going to have to come together. we can argue it out with every one of the members, not only manchin and me, but everybody else. they have different points of view, different priorities. but at the end of the day there is an understanding that it is absolutely imperative that, "a," that biden succeeds. "b" that we retain control over the house and the senate, and we're not going to do that unless we pass

senator bernie sanders will be here it's always great to talk to the senator.ician, an author and actor and one of our favorite guests. action bronson will be here in studio, maybe. there's also chance he will not be here, in which case i will interview wally. [ laughter ] >> really? >> seth: yeah. [ laughter ] >> okay. >> seth: yeah, okay. glad you're amenable to that, wally. [ laughter ] but before we get do all that, man, we had something really fun happen yesterday we were interviewing the secretary of the interior deb haaland, was fascinating i'm so glad we got to talk to her. and during the interview, her staffer, crawled across the floor thinking they were out of the shot and they were man, i don't know how to tell you this, they were so in the shot and then they tried to hide behind the desk and i asked them to come out. and there you'll see that is the staffer and i asked what his name was. and i want to apologize. it's her name is tammy and how dare i give a man credit for a woman's job, especially when her job is to be the funniest thing that happene

bernie sanders is 79 years old, year were living and i am.le i was researching for this extremely important topic that we are talking about. it's very serious. i have to admit, the 60 degrees and a king-size bed, that sounds quite lovely to me. but i really want to know what the blue blanket is all about. why blue? he has gray hair. you can definitely see the gray on it. that is the only question. did you know kanye west, all he likes? he just wants lip balm, shower shoes, and a lot of alcohol. that seems reasonable. >> geraldo: i want spaced here lots of space. dana, doesn't everyone want lots of space? >> dana: if you ever have a chance to fly on up private plane, you do not ever want to go back. going through tsa and taking your shoes off. the blanket thing reminded me of linus. that's the first thing i thought of. the other thing i was thinking is why is it aoc out there outraged? do you know how many greenhouse gas emissions are wasted keeping a room at 60 degrees at all times? that is the scandal here. we must follow up on it tomorrow.

bernie sanders is opposed.ow the democratic party is losing working class and non-college-educated voters. >> i think if i am a working class person in this country, i've seen my job go to china, i'm working for $9 an hour when i used to make $20 an hour, i don't have health care, i can't afford it or i can't afford prescription drugs. you're resentful. are we talking to those people? i think we're beginning to see that in the last few months under biden. but democrats traditionally have been very tepid about going big. and i think i would say -- >> i think there's a glossiness to it, as well. sort of san francisco, new york gloss. >> oh, yeah, i'm so smart. i am really smart and, you know, we got $100 dinners and who really cares about those working class people? >> kasie, clearly senator sanders is signaling that he wants the party to really focus on those voters. a lot of what he said there, his intonation, how he's talking is going to be very familiar to you. and also, kasie, also familiar will be this comi

. >> bernie sanders, you've mentioned joe manchin in the middle of the democratic party, to the right of the congress and then there's bernie sanders who says -- this was the big week, we shall see. up next, several researchers from a lab in wuhan, china hospitalized in 2019. does this raise new questions about the origins of the coronavirus? in business, it's never just another day. it's the big sale, or the big presentation. the day where everything goes right. or the one where nothing does. with comcast business you get the network that can deliver gig speeds to the most businesses and advanced cybersecurity to protect every device on it— all backed by a dedicated team, 24/7. every day in business is a big day. we'll keep you ready for what's next. comcast business powering possibilities. new projects means new project managers. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. the moment you sponsor a job on indeed you get a short list of quality candidates from our resume database. claim your seventy five dollar credit, when you post your first job at indeed.com/home. some companie

bernie? he's unveiled a $6 trillion set of proposals expanding social safety nets.the highest levels adjusted over the past 50 years. this shows biden's transformation and how he's governing. many see progress and an attempt to consolidate the democratic party while on domestic policy going full bernie after coming in as incremental moderate. >> more cops, more prisons, more physical protection for the people. we have predators on your treats. you must take back the streets. >> congress gives president biden what he wants in the showdown with saddam hussein. >> we say, yes, you have that power to go to war. >> i meant social security as well. i meant medicare and medicaid. >> he meant medicare and medicaid. he meant iraq. he meant clean up the streets with that tough and controversial crime bill. that was then. in his long career. we know recently that party he's in seemed to sort of split, two presidential cycles in a row between the more centrist choice versus a progressive one. first it was clinton versus sanders and then biden versus sanders. they had been engag

candidate and in atlanta we have lived on jones she's an attorney and a former state director for bernie sanders in 2016. in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it. being let me go to you 1st because we've kind of bumped heads in the past about this issue here what does socialism mean to you in and i really want to make it very clear here i don't really want to go into the pros and cons of it i want to talk about the meaning of it in the context of american politics because everyone knows i'm a conservative but i have to you know show my cards a little bit here i'm really tired of conservatives throwing that word out is that is if it really means much anymore go ahead caleb in new york. well the essence of socialism in the sense that karl marx and lot of your lenin and others wrote about the essence of it is growth and progress the idea is that the means of production the banks act or ease major industries should be organized to serve the public good and liberated from the anarchy of production and the chaos of the market and if we can get beyond pr

entire world ok caleb i mean if it's something that i do like and i and i actually hear an echo of bernie sanders there and i have to admit we're done and it's turning into ancient history but i've said repeatedly on this program and 2016 there were only 2 candidates that i followed it was donald trump and bernie sanders ok so because his message does resonate resonate with people and with a lot of conservatives believe it or not ok caleb i mean so i mean in the american context because i mean i've lived around the world i've lived most of my entire life not my adult life my entire life in different countries in the world and all of them have had health care all of them ok some of them better than others here so why is it that america can take best practices because that's the question i ask myself all of the time go ahead caleb well part of the rise of neo liberal economics milton friedman and iran and and alan greenspan was pushing this notion that any invoked by the government in the economy is. by definition socialism and leading to communism and a lot of americans believe that if the

fighting for israel's military and defense system bernie sanders and others want to block u.s.l in some cases, mark meredith live at the white house with more on the administration reaction. >> afternoon this week the president is going to send the secretary of state anthony bleecker into the middle of east tate meet with palestinian officials, this comes as united station will help keep the cease-fire in place, we know the administration is double down on support for israel to defend itself but we also hear from the administration humanitarian aid. what is the real challenge is the help of the palestinians in particular to help moderate palestinians in the palestinian authority deliver better results for their people in israel has a profound role to play in the two. >> president biden insist current is really government closer to home the white house republicans will embrace the infrastructure spending bill proposal they were originally asked for $2.2 trillion to fix roads, bridges, airports to expand broadband now lowering the price tied to 1.7 trillion essentially to reduce

we go to bernie sanders who joins us from berlington, vermont.ood morning, senator. >> good morning. >> dickerson: i want to start in the middle east. you made the case that how the u.s. government responds in this cease-fire says something about president biden's commitment to human rights more broadly. last sunday you wrote a piece in the "new york times" that says the u.s. must stop being anthropologist for the netanyahu government. since you wrote that, the president has been very supportive of israel. do you think that the administration is being an pop ganapologist for the netanyahu government? >> given the incredible suffering in gaza, where we have a poverty rate of 56%, and 70% of the young people are unemployed, and after the israeli attacks, you have waste water plants destroyed, clinics destroyed, hospitals destroyed, i think the united states has got to develop an even-handed approach to the israeli-palestinian conflict. we have to be pro-israel, but we have to be pro-palestinian. i hope and believe the president understands that. i

anyone who is really serious about calling for progressive changes would be this is something even bernie sanders fairly do this i sliced the number of things on the left and including noam chomsky who have a lot of respect for extensively claiming that bernie sanders was a strong advocate of social movements beneath and beyond electoral politics it's we need you know this isn't what would have been a cloud wrote about in the book or people's movements as this continues this isn't just the thirty's as a true in the sixty's it was during the progressive ages during the 1000 century stuff happens when you have social movements in neat and beyond these quadrennial candidates and their major party electoral extravaganzas that are so to us as the only thing that about politics in bernie at the end of the day was really ultimately about. the squadron i was traveling in says and you know it's a o.c. and him say things that sound different every once and it's really they're really in mash in this corporate captive realm of electoral i don't think so if you are serious about or if you become playi

the left and including noam chomsky who have a lot of respect for extensively claiming that that bernie sanders was a strong advocate of social movements beneath and beyond electoral college since we need you know sort of what would have been uncovered wrote about in the book or people's movements as this continues this isn't just the thirty's this is true in the sixty's it was during the progressive ages during the 1000 century stuff happens when you have social movements in the thin beyond these quadrennial candidates entered major party electoral its grab a gander or so to us as the only thing that about politics in bernie at the end of the day was really ultimately about. the squadron i was traveling in says and you know it's a o.c. and him say things that sound different every once and it's really they're really in mash in this corporate captive realm of electoral politics so if you were serious about c.b. coupling it with a call for people in the streets i thought under trond that if democrats were serious about getting trump out of i could trump deserve mass movements in the stre

when we think back through the primary young people overwhelmingly supported bernie sanders. they were disappointed but around st. patrick's day little less than a year ago joe biden said listen, give me an opportunity. in those days only about one third of young people had a favorable view of him but they gave him a chance and that view is much higher now. it is 54%. then we have the george floyd murder where young people of all races, ethnicities, genders took it upon themselves to call attention to the concerns they had about systemic racism and inequality in this country. and that movement from the streets absolutely turned into movement on election day. young people see that the political institutions were actually listening to them, perhaps for the first time in their lives. i think that goes a long way to explaining why there is so much hope, especially hope among young african-americans and blacks. as you said i think less than one in five four years ago had hope about the future of our country. today it is closer to seven in 10. that just makes me feel good. i am the

>> listen, the biden administration i'm a bernie sanders sporters.how willing the biden administration is to go into these crises and deal with some of the systemic issues that got us here. they had a lot they inherited from the trump administration. he took a wrecking ball to government and civil rights and to the environment and he obviously did not deal with the pandemic in a timely well thought out way. it has been a tough ride, yes. can biden control what's happening in the mideast? no. that has been going on for quite a while. but in terms of the media's response, meghan mccain is on the most popular show on tv. we're sitting on the most popular cable network talking about the biden administration. i don't know what alternate reality she is living in not to mention she voted for joe biden and supported joe biden and calls him her godfather basically. so i just think she is looking for an angle. we know what the industry is like. sometimes a slow news day and it has not been a slow news day. that's the funny thing. she just is looking for her an

now bernie goes over the night of the 28th. there's a pontoon bridge already there. he crosses over the morning the 29th. they attack a new market heights. they win a victory at new market heights and 14 uscts win the medal of honor. he prepares his men to turn and mark up new market road. the 18th corps has two division commanders george standard and charles heckman and they're very different. charles stanard, i mean george standard is an experienced leader. he fought at gettysburg his troops are the ones that swung out during pickett's charge and fired down armistead's lines. he was wounded there. he fought a cold harbor with 18th corps attacked and he was wounded there. he fought at petersburg and was wounded there. he's a very experienced commander. he knows what he's about. charles heckman on the other hand is a different animal altogether. a former seminary student he worked for the railroad. volunteered for the war became a brigadier general he later brigade. and its second jury's bluff in the spring or in may. he was captured and he's just recently been excha

even bernie sanders said, he is no fan of trump, bernie sanders said he is not comfortable with this.se it could be donald trump today, ted cruz tomorrow. they could single out the viewer and who else can they muzzle? >> free speech is enshrined in the constitution in effect from the government. it doesn't necessarily apply to businesses, right? we let businesses run with values and morals that fit their culture. this is something completely new that we haven't had to deal with when you have a massive organization that does control the public square, it limits americans free speech. the way you have good dialogue and you let people say things that are on the fringe, whether left or right, it is, you're able to express yourself, you take energy out of the room. it's a good thing we allow people to speak. if you have all the speech police in place in places like facebook and twitter, you stifle the ability to communicate, all of sudden people behave in really bad ways. that is why our founders were enshrined that in our constitution. we express ourself better than lefties in san francis

she was with bernie sanders in that real liberal progressive lane., joe biden, not in that same vain. whether she's a women or a man. >> and she did say that her inability to explain how she was going to pay for her health care plan contributed. but there is this resistance in the american -- even among liberals, right, to think about women in -- >> we all picked it up on the campaign trail time and time again. the impulse of the 2020 primary abby was beat donald trump. that is the only issue for the vast majority of the electorate and that is why biden won the way he did with bernie winning a handful of states and it flipped just like that because people were focused on just that. and anything that they worried to challenge the possibility is this too risky, they shied away from. >> is it surprising though to hear liz wedge warren get to the point where she's willing to talk about it. she alluded to it as she's leaving the race in 2020. we had her on the show a couple of months ago and now she's putting it out there is this barrier and it is a democ

the fact that happened, coming from bernie sanders, who is of course, of jewish faith, was a sort of change within the democratic party. they think joe biden's stance was a symbol of that small shift you are seeing within the party. >> that same question raised by jeremy corbyn in the u.k. stay with us. let's go back to jerusalem for reaction. i imagine benjamin netanyahu may be trying to make the best of this and couch this as a victory? reporter: yes. they talk here about the victory picture. what are you going to present? what does each side present to their public? each side claims victory. what netanyahu is presenting is the victory picture is the destruction of so much of the underground, the network of tunnels hamas has built for itself and production of weapons. none of those were made available to civilians to use as bomb shelters. it is hundreds of kilometers, israel said it destroyed something like 200 kometers of what they call the metro, e underground netwk system, the tunnel system. that is what netanyahu will be presenting to the public as the victory. i have to say, i

how about progressives like bernie sanders?> that's the challenge, negotiating and cut ago deal with republicans which will undoubtedly fall short of what bernie sanders wants, what the liberals in the house want, and that's going to be the challenge here. now, what is very clear is that the white house is trying to do this on a dual track, thag to get a bipartisan teal, maybe in the range of what mitch mcconnell is suggesting, up to $ $800 billion, that's a fraction of the $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan that joe biden laid out, and then trying to do the rest in a separate process, the budget reconciliation process we talked so much about because it's so significant because you can avoid a senate filibuster by doing that and pass it along straight party lines. you have to keep your caucus in line to do that and today an important meeting joe biden is having with joe manchin in the white house, a west virginia democrat, he's one who's resisted going down the road of reconciliation until they try the bipartisan route first, fi

i voted for it and bernie sanders voted for it. it focuses on building faster, better, cheaper, smarter, and wing about core infrastructure that the president talks about as hard infrastructure. >> on our abc/ipsos poll also, 67% of republican leaders in congress are doing too little to compromise with joe biden. you are a republican leader. so are there places where you could compromise on the president's agenda? where you see a good opportunity to meet him and democrats in the middle on this? >> with coronavirus relief we did five bipartisan bills, each of which got over 90 votes and when president biden came into office, and gave the speech about working together on inauguration day, we made really good faith efforts in the covid relief package. he ignored all of it. he did this with budgets to reconciliation with the slimmest margin of votes. ignored republicans. we want to work together on this with true infrastructure, and i think there's a deal to be had. >> well, we'll see if that happens. within your party, former presiden

bernie sanders wrote a piece: "the u.s.ust stop being anthropologist for the israe palestinian government." it supports essentially the netanyahu government, which puts such pressure on the palestinians, that it makes any kind of peace solution impossible, and that, in fact, it creates conditions that are impossible for the palestinians to live under, and that the u.s. government should break from netanyahu. and we have the prime minister right now, and i'll get back to you later in the broadcast, congressman. but now we're going to switch to the prime minister. good morning, mr. prime minister. thank you for being with us. >> good morning. >> dickerson: yesterday was the worst clash in this seven-day conflict, the last one in 2014 lasted six weeks. how much longer are these hostilities going to continue? >> well, we hope that it doesn't continue very long. but we were attacked by hamas on our national day, jerusalem day, unp unprovoked attacks on jerusalem, and then thousands of rockets on our city. i think any country has

bernie sanders, alexandria ocasio-cortez, the first palestinian american congresswoman rashida tlaibed in stopping the expediting of $735 million of precision-guided weapons to israel, would this have any affect or senator sanders calling for a cease-fire? what kind of impact does this have on israeli society? do you think this could stop the bloodshed? >> let me tell you come amy come if there would have been an administration -- and you could administration who not only like to stop the violence but put in into the occupation, could do so within months. the problem is we never place in administration really decisive or really caring about the status quo. biden is now labeled by israel as hostile president. joe biden sign on this were quita lot. he would be decisiveor american president, would put an end to at once. those forget the israeli relying on the united states, but israel learned the unid stat is in its pocket. the support is unconditional. the money will come and the check is open no matter what israel does. that is the way the united states has corrupted israel. cause if

sanders, senator bernie sanders tweeted out last night, we must take a look, a hard look at nearly $4 billion a year in military aid to israel, it's illegal for the u.s. to support human rights violations. again, israel, though, has a much lower death toll, 10. but still people are living like this, running constantly down to shelters, never knowing where the next rocket is going to hit. like in this synagogue here. benjamin netanyahu last night defending israel's response to all of this. >> we need more pipelines, not fewer pipelines. pipelines are a lifeline for our energy, for our economy. >> reporter: i'm going to try the to get upstairs now that it seems the sirens are over of and i would like to show you the big hole in the wall of this synagogue, if you've still got our signal because it is dramatic and they were very lucky he that nobody was hurt here. because nobody happened to be in the synagogue at the rabbi happened not to be at home. if you're still with us, take a look at that hole from the rocket that hit here yesterday at the synagogue and today is a jewish holiday. pe

and 20 minutes ago i read tweeted some guy who's described as a national surrogate for bernie sanderss out this video saying let's stop condemning anti-semitism. all of us on the left don't contend him anti-semitism anymore. no kidding, because you traffic and it, that's who you are and bernie sanders do you agree with your national surrogate joe biden? do you agree that we should stop condemning anti-semitism? do you agree with senator omar that israel is conducting acts of terrorism? we need to call people out and get them on the record for where they stand. >> sean: will do -- will the senate stop sr one. will the senate republican stand as a unit? will they stop court packing and ending the judicial filibuster and d.c. statehood and higher taxes? will they stand united on energy issues to protect this country? the lifeblood of the country? for example i don't think democrats are capable of running a fair investigation in the january 6th. i would like one, but they are not capable of it. >> on the first three you asked about on s1, the corrupt politicians act and d.c. statehood and

anyone who is really serious about calling for progressive changes would be this is something even bernie sanders barely did this i so i've seen a number of things on the left and including noam chomsky who have a lot of respect for extensively claiming that bernie sanders was a strong advocate of social movements beneath and beyond electoral politics which we need you know so that what we have uncovered wrote about in the book poor people's movements this continues this isn't just the thirty's this is true in the sixty's it was during the progressive ages during the 1000 century stuff happens when you have social movements to meet in beyond these quadrennial candidates and major party electoral it's very gans's or so to us as the only thing that about politics in burnie at the end of the day was really ultimately about. these quadrennial strive against us and you know it's a o.c.n. him say things that sound different every once of it's really you're really in mash in this corporate captive realm of the world i don't think so if you were serious about c.b. coupling it with a call for peop

should also put pressure on israel more democrats slowly becoming critical of israel vermont senator bernie sanders was a jew who is jewish by the way wrote a very interesting essay in the new york times saying israel has the absolute right to live in peace and security risks of had heard before of course from from the u.s. but so do the palestinians he said and he said we must recognize that palestinian lives matter could these voices within the democratic party be transformative could we see a shift as a result of this. i don't think anybody should hold their breath on that. bernie sanders got a lot of support when he ran for president from people who more supportive of palestinians than they were of israel the 2 times he ran for president that side lost joe biden i think is not trying to do anything untoward as toward the palestinians but i think his feeling is when people talk about proportionality yes it's probably a legitimate grievance that these families have in east jerusalem who are being displaced but 2000 rockets being fired at the most densely populated cities in israel itself

bernie sanders is jewish but does not understand what's going on.re being attacked with 2,000 rockets and missiles from a terrorist regime. there is no moral equivalence. but i'm not satisfied with where president biden is. he had gotten better during the week. we have to remember president biden is the best in the entire democratic party when it comes to israel. he has not clearly and forcefully and personally and on camera denounced and condemned hamas and islamic jihad by name. he has not -- he's not condemning personally the terrorism i'm making clear to the entire world our enemies and our allies that hamas and islamic jihadists are to blame. this is moral leadership. this is what's required. he says we have the right to defend ourselves and we appreciate that. and these right to talk about the human rights and the needs and the concerns of the palestinian people. 100% agree. i want to call on christians all over the world to show compassion for the people of gaza. people -- christians don't realize 22 times in the bible gaza is mentioned up to

democrats like bernie sanders keep going after israel.tates of america has to be leading the world in bringing people together, not simply supplying weapons to kill children in dawes act. our job is not simply to put more more military support for israel, it is to bring people together. >> jesse: after days of waiting, they are getting around to condemning the anti-semitic violence. taken to twitter to call it "despicable." do you agree that the biden administration is supplying weapons to kill children in gaza? >> juan: i don't think that they are intending to cause violence against civilians, but i think that that is the argument, jesse. to my mind, you know, we have to be very clear here and not confuse anti-semitism with legitimate criticism of debate about israeli policies. that's a separate issue. that's not anti-semitic to say i'd diss to have her with israel's policy is, you have the debate among jewish people including bernie sanders about what israel is doing and how it conducts its policies. you have aipac versus j street in te

that's what bernie marcus' advocacy group is doing. marcus, of course, one of the founders of home depot. billionaire with big bucks. joining us now, charlie gasparino ready to break this one. charlie. >> what are they saying, no balls, all strikes? [laughter] liz: i'm a hockey fan. i don't know. [laughter] >> i think that was, that was meant for bob manfred, the commissioner of baseball, who moved the all-star game out of atlanta over pressure from activists over the georgia voting law. and and now comes a political advocacy group founded by home depot cofounder bernie marcus called the job creators network. he's trying to turn up the heat on mr. manfred to possibly move the game back. now, i give this very low odds not because the job creators network and its president, alfredo ortiz, that they're not trying hard enough, but today a rally. they've been running a series of ads on billboards, particularly in times square a couple week ago, others again saying no balls, all strikes on mancaving to the pleasure -- manfred caving to the a

>> i think bernie speaks for most people in the democratic party, not just the left wing. i think the entire party felt during the obama years, obama, a man of such high integrity, he don't believe in red states and believe states, it's just the united states. he put his entire presidency on the line over and over again trying to get to bipartisan agreements. at the end of the day in hindsight t looked like the republicans were just running out the clock on the guy and never planned to play fair. from biden right to the bernie sanders left and his party, the idea that this kind of lucy and the football we went through over and over again where they would say, keep talking to us and eventually we'll do something. we couldn't even get a vote. during the obama years, we were trying to pass republican legislation. obamacare was romneycare and they wouldn't vote for their own bill. >> we heard from mitch mcconnell when he said his goal is 100% focused on stopping this administration. the context we heard from senator sanders there, a lot of people who agree with the senator. al

so, you've got bernie sanders and aoc on the left. seen politics in this country right now. and republicans just don't want to participate. they simply don't want to participate. the outrageous thing to me is that, mitch mcconnell whipped this vote. he made this vote go down the way it did. he did not give republican senators the option of voting with their conscience. he essentially said, i am the leader and we are going for this. and we are not participating in normal democracy. we are not going to do that. >> yeah. >> we're just going to say no. and we think that is our route to regaining power. >> i just want to add that we're talking about a 19 vote margin. it was 54 democrats to 35 republicans. and in on the other democracy, any other reasonable country, a 19 vote margin for the majority means that there is a consensus and the thing passes. there's something deeply wrong when you can say republicans won this vote with negative 19 votes. that is insane. >> yeah. all very fair points. all i wanted to underscore is that i hope peop
